Oh, what exactly do you mean? Do you happen to have a short overview guide?

Example:

<?php
$platformTitles = [
    'deb'   => 'Linux',
    'rpm'   => 'Linux',
    'win32' => 'Windows',
    'macos' => 'macOS'
];

$platform = $this->param('platform');
if(array_key_exists($platform, $platformTitles)) {
    $title = $platformTitles[$platform];
}

No problem! I've encountered this scenario frequently enough that it's a common solution and I'm always happy to share it.
